Definitions

  • the present invention relates to modular plugs and, more particularly, to guide plates for modular plugs.
  • Modular plugs are widely used to facilitate connection to and disconnection from communication lines of telephone sets or other electronic equipment.
  • a variety of modular plug guide plates are used to facilitate connection of cables of electronic equipment to modular plugs.
  • the guide plates are used mainly to organize core wires of a cable.
  • a guide plate receiving cavity extends from the rear end to the front end of an insulation housing of a modular plug so as to receive a guide plate.
  • the sheath of a terminal end of the cable is removed, and the separated core wires are organized by a guide plate.
  • the organized core wires are pushed into the guide plate receiving cavity until the guide plate reaches the front end of the guide plate receiving cavity.
  • a contact terminal is then pushed down into the insulating housing so that it is press connected to the organized core wires.
  • Fig. 6 shows a conventional guide plate of this type.
  • US-A-4 767 355 discloses a similar guide plate.
  • the modular plug guide plate 20 is molded from a plastic material to provide organizing apertures 21 which extend between the front and rear ends of the guide plate.
  • a reinforcing beam 22 is provided at a middle of the organizing apertures 21.
  • Terminal receiving slits 23 are provided on the upper wall of the organizing apertures 21 to receive contact terminals of the modular plug. Separation walls 24 are provided between the adjacent terminal receiving slits 23 to insulate the contact terminals from each other.
  • a predetermined length of sheath 11 is removed from the terminal end to expose core wires 12.
  • the core wires 12 are separated and put into the corresponding organizing apertures 21.
  • Fig. 7 shows how the guide plate 20 organizes and holds the core wires 12 of the cable 10.
  • Fig. 8 shows, guide plate 20 and the terminal end of the cable 10 are inserted into a receiving cavity 31 of the insulating housing 30.
  • a contact terminal 40 is pushed into the receiving slits 32 and 23 of the insulating housing 30 and guide plate 20, respectively, such that the contact terminal is press connected to the core wire 12 within the organizing aperture 21.
  • the sheath clamp 33 of the insulating housing 30 is used to clamp the sheath 11 of the cable 10 for completing the connection between the cable and the modular plug.
  • the conventional modular guide plates facilitate connection of cables to modular plugs but still suffers from the following disadvantages.
  • the core wires are separated and then inserted into the organizing apertures of the guide plate so that sometimes it is difficult to insert the core wires into the organizing apertures.
  • the guide plate 20 is not positioned correctly because of the presence of a gap so that the contact terminal 40 is not press-connected correctly.
  • the receiving cavity 31 of the housing 30 is made sufficiently high to receive the sheath 11 of the cable 10, but the height of the deep section 31A for receiving the guide plate 20 is small or substantially equal to the height of the guide plate 20. Consequently, there is a step-down wall 31B between the deep section 31A and the entrance section of the receiving cavity 31.
  • the guide plate 20 and the connection end of the cable 10 is inserted into the receiving cavity 31 of the housing 30, the guide plate 20 tends to float because of the high ceiling of the receiving cavity 31. Consequently, the guide plate 20 hits against the step-down wall 31B and cannot enter the deep section 31A of the receiving cavity 31.
  • the inside diameter of the organizing aperture 21 is fixed so that the size of core wires to be inserted into the organizing apertures is fixed. Consequently, it is impossible to connect core wires of only a little different size.
  • the conventional guide plate is not adaptable for a variety of sizes of core wires.
  • a modular plug 100 includes an insulation housing 110, a number of contact terminals 120, and a guide plate 130.
  • the insulation housing 110 and the contact terminals 120 may have conventional structures, and their description will be omitted.
  • the guide plate 130 according to the invention is used to organize and hold core wires 12 of a round cable 10 from which a length of sheath 11 is removed to separate the core wires. It is inserted into the insulation housing 110 so that the respective contact terminals 120 are press- connected to the respective core wires 12 without difficulty.
  • the guide plate 130 is molded from a transparent plastic material for example. As shown in Fig. 5, it has a shape fitted in the receiving cavity 111 of the insulation housing 110.
  • This guide plate includes a front organizing section 136 and a rear introducing section 131.
  • the organizing section 136 has organizing apertures 137 for arranging and holding the core wires 12 side by side and terminal slits 138 for receiving contact terminals 120 such that the contact terminals are press connected to the corresponding core wires 12.
  • the terminal slits 138 extend to the front ends of the organizing section 136 forming cantilevered separation walls 139.
  • the introducing section 131 has a bottom wall 132, side walls 133 and 134, and a front wall 135.
  • Lower waveformed end 135A of the front wall 135 and introducing guides 135B on the bottom wall 132 form introducing spaces for the organizing apertures 137.
  • the core wires 12 of the cable 10 are introduced into the organizing apertures 137 by the introducing spaces defined by the waveformed end 135A and the introducing guides 135B and organized and held closely in parallel.
  • the sheath end 11A abuts against the rear end of the bottom wall 132 so as to position the front ends of respective core wires 12.
  • the height of the side walls 133 and 134 is made substantially equal to the height of the introducing section of the receiving cavity 111 so that the side walls serve as introducing sections, too.
  • the height of the organizing section 136 is made substantially equal to the deep section 111A of the receiving cavity 111 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the introducing section may be provided on the organizing section 136.
  • a length of sheath 11 is cut and removed from the round cable 10 to expose and separate core wires 12.
  • the length of removal of the sheath is made greater than the length L of the guide plate 130 as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the separated core wires 12 are organized by the guide plate 130, which is then pushed into the introducing section 131 defined by the bottom and side walls 132 and 133.
  • the front ends of the respective core wires 12 are guided by the introducing guides 135B on the bottom wall 132 into the waveformed end 135A.
  • the round cable 10 is pushed toward the guide plate 130 until the sheath end 11A abuts against the bottom wall 132 so that the respective core wires 12 are inserted into organizing apertures 137 of the organizing section 136, and their front ends project from the organizing apertures 137.
  • the front ends 12A of the respective core wires 12 are cut off so that the length of the core wires 12 from the sheath end 11A is made equal to the length L of the guide plate 130.
  • the end portions of the respective core wires 12 are held in the organizing apertures 137 of the organizing section 136.
  • the respective core wire 12 are held between the waveformed bottom and the lower waveformed faces of the cantilevered separation walls 139 such that the respective terminal slits 138 are aligned with the centers of the corresponding core wires 12.
  • the separation walls 139 are flexible in a vertical direction so that when the diameters of core wires 12 are a little greater than the diameters of organizing apertures 137, the respective separation walls 139 are flexed upwardly to accommodate them.
  • the organized cable 10 is then inserted into the receiving cavity 111 of the insulation housing 110. Since the height of the side walls 133 and 134 is substantially equal to the height of the receiving cavity 111 of the insulation housing 110, the guide plate 130 slides into the receiving cavity 111 so that the organizing section 136 of the guide plate 130 is placed in the deep section 111A of the receiving cavity 111 without difficulty (Fig. 5). At this point, the side walls 133 and 134 abut against the step-down wall 111B between the deep section 111A and the introducing section of the receiving cavity 111 so as to serve as a stopper for positioning.
  • the terminal slits 112 of the insulation housing 110 are aligned with the terminal slits 138 of the guide plate 130 so that it is possible to push down contact terminals 120 through the terminal slits 112 to press-connect the contact terminal to the core wires 12.
  • the sheath clamp 113 is then pressed down to clamp the round cable 10.
  • the separated core wires of a cable are organized and held in the guide plate which has an organizing section and an introducing section so that the organizing operation is simplified and the connection operation of the cable to the modular plug is simplified.
  • the sheath end of a cable abuts against the end of the guide plate so that it is possible to place the guide plate in the deep section of the receiving cavity, assuring the press-connection of contact terminals.
  • the separation walls are cantilevered and flexible, the core wires thicker than the standard are accommodated so that the guide plate is useful for core wires of different sizes. Since the terminal slits extend through the front end of the guide plate, if the guide plate is placed short of the deep section of the receiving cavity, it is still possible to press connect contact terminals to the core wires because the contact terminals are not blocked by the terminal slits of the guide plate.
  • the organizing and introducing sections have different shapes so that it is prevented to insert the guide plate into the insulation housing upside down.
